Dear Al,
The closest I have is a file entry for the following:

    A Hard Day's Night    
    Help                     
    When I'm 64                      
    Baby You're A Rich Man                      
    Yesterday                      
    Strawberry Fields                     
    She's Leaving Home                      
    She Loves You                      
    Yellow Submarine                      
    All You Need Is Love                      
    Ticket To Ride                      
    Michelle                     
    Norwegian Wood                      
    Eleanor Rigby                      
    Nowhere Man                      
    Can't Buy Me Love  

An LP, not a CD (unless it has been reissued).
Not dixieland either, judging from the instrumentation.
Ronnie Ross (1933-1991) was born in Calcutta of Scottish parents.
A modernist who played alto, tenor and clarinet, but specialised on baritone sax.
Worked with (among many) Ted Heath, Woody Herman's Anglo-American Herd, Ronnie Scott, MJQ, John Dankworth, Kenny Clarke, Stan Tracy and own quartet/sextet.
Kind regards,
Bill.
